Bonds produced modestly positive returns in the six-month period ended August 31, 2006, with tax-free municipal bonds outpacing their taxable counterparts. Bond yields rose across almost all maturities but ended the period well below
their highest levels. The Federal Reserve, which lifted the federal funds target rate to 5.25% in June, suspended its tightening efforts in early August in anticipation of reduced inflation pressures stemming from slower economic growth. Long-term
and lower-quality municipal securities continued to outperform short-term and higher-quality issues.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Economic growth, which accelerated at the beginning of 2006, moderated over the last six months. Rising mortgage rates helped cool the housing market, job growth softened, and consumer spending decelerated amid rising interest rates,
stubbornly high oil and gas prices, and slower housing equity growth.

A tight labor market and higher energy prices have raised business production costs, spurring inflation above the comfort zone of Federal Reserve officials, in part because of elevated energy and commodity prices. In response, the
central bank raised the federal funds target rate in quarter-point increments during the period, from 4.50% to 5.25% in June—a level not seen in more than five years.

On August 8, the central bank refrained from raising the fed funds rate for the first time in two years—the highly anticipated “pause” in Fed tightening—based on the moderation of U.S. economic growth and
perceptions that “inflation pressures seem likely to moderate over time.” However, the Fed acknowledged that “some inflation risks remain” and left open the possibility of additional rate increases.

In the taxable bond market, Treasury yields rose across all maturities, with short-term rates rising more than long-term. In fact, portions of the Treasury yield curve were inverted for much of the last six months (i.e., some short-term yields were higher than some long-term yields), which historically has been a harbinger of slower economic growth. On an absolute basis, municipal bonds once again outperformed their taxable counterparts in the first half of our fiscal year, as they have for most of the last three years. In the six-month period ended August 31, the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index returned 2.02% versus 1.82% for the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Index.

MUNICIPAL MARKET NEWS

New municipal borrowing in the first eight months of the year totaled about $235 billion, approximately 15% lower than in the first eight months of 2005 (according to data from Thomson Financial as published inThe Bond Buyer). Refunding issuance fell dramatically as interest rates rose at the beginning of our fiscal year and demand from investors, including nontraditional buyers of municipals such as hedge funds, remained supportive. Credit conditions have remained favorable, and state government coffers continued to accumulate tax revenues.

Long-term municipals outperformed shorter-term issues in the last six months, thanks primarily to the decline in longer-term interest rates that started at the end of June. High-yield securities maintained their performance advantage over investment-grade issues for the entire reporting period, although they trailed high-quality bonds in the last two months.

Within the high-quality universe, bonds rated BBB—the lowest investment-grade tier—fared better than securities with higher credit ratings. Tobacco and hospital revenue bonds continued to outperform, resulting in valuations
that appear to be extended. Housing financerevenue bonds also did well in the first half of our fiscal year, though they have lagged slightly in recent months. As spreads for lower-quality issues tightened, investors turned to the higher yields available in housing bonds as an
alternative.

PORTFOLIO STRATEGY

Tax-Exempt Money FundThe fund outperformed its Lipper peer group during the past 6- and 12-month periods. Since our last letter to you, the seven-day simple yield on the fund has again increased, ending August at 3.07%, up from 2.67% last February. With the Federal Reserve bringing the fed funds rate to 5.25%, money market rates have continued their trend to higher levels, peaking in late June as the Fed announced a pause in its policy of tighter monetary conditions. Markets reacted to both the Fed pause and indications of a slowing economy by anticipating that the Fed might begin cutting rates in early 2007. This sentiment shift caused rates to retrace somewhat in July and
August.

In the past six months, yields on one-year municipal securities moved from around 3.40% in March to as high as 3.75% in late June, before falling to about 3.55% at the end of August. Variable rate notes—a growing share of the
municipal money market—averaged yields of approximately 3.40%, about 50 basis points (half a percentage point) higher than during the preceding six months. With a very flat money market curve—a difference of only about15 basis points in yield between seven-day and one-year maturities—we have found little incentive to extend the fund’s maturities, particularly given the uncertainty surrounding the Fed’s next move. As a result, the fund ended the period with a weighted average maturity of 35 days.

Changes in municipal issuance patterns, along with economic uncertainty and questions about the direction of the Fed’s next move, contributed to the flat money market yield curve. Fixed-rate note issuance is down again for the
third consecutive year, a result of strong tax receipts at the state and local levels, which reduce the need for short-term borrowing in the one-year note market. At the same time, new issues of synthetic variable rate notes have been surging. Yields on variable rate notes generally move in relationship to taxable one-month Libor rates, although
this yield relationship can be interrupted by seasonal demand fluctuations in the municipal market. These factors lead us to expect the municipal money market yield curve to remain flat near term. Until a clearer picture of the economy and its
implications for Fed policy emerge, we feel a more neutral investment posture is prudent.

Tax-Free Short-Intermediate Fund

The fund outpaced its Lipper peer group average during the 6- and 12-month periods ended August 31, 2006, with returns of 1.60% and 2.35% versus 1.52% and 2.11%, respectively. Returns were up modestly during the past six months, with most of the appreciation occurring in July and August as evidence of a slowing economy began to emerge. Our relatively aggressive investment strategy benefited fund resultsover the summer when our segment of the municipal market started to perform better.

Our investment strategy focused on several areas. We believed that the short-intermediate segment of the yield curve offered good relative valuations. The Federal Open Market Committee had lifted the federal funds rate from 1% beginning
in June 2004 to 5.25% in June 2006. Treasury yields reached levels not seen in five years, and municipal yields moved higher as well, although not to the same extent as in the Treasury market. As an asset class, short-term bonds had not fared as well as some other fixed-income investments, and we believed they had reached a point where their valuations were more appealing. Consequently,
we extended the duration of the fund about three months. (Duration is a measure of a fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates; see the Glossary for a more detailed explanation.)

We also reduced our exposure to cash and short-term bonds in an effort to lock in higher yields as they became available. Our cash holdings fell from about 5% to approximately 2% of the portfolio, and our allocation to bonds maturing
within two years declined from roughly 24% to 15% during the period. At the same time, we raised our allotment of bonds maturing in two to four years by 13%.

Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Fund

The fund outpaced its Lipper peer group average during the 6- and 12-month periods ended August 31, 2006, with returns of 1.84% and 2.54% versus 1.62% and 2.21%, respectively. Returns were up modestly during the past six months, with most of the appreciation occurring in July and August as evidence of a slowing economy began to emerge. We had begun to position the fund more aggressively back in February, a bit too early in
retrospect, since the market was volatile through the spring. Our strategy paid off in the summer, however, when our segment of the municipal market started to perform better.

Our investment strategy focused on four areas. First, we began to reduce our exposure to cash and short-term bonds during the winter and continued this strategy during the past six months in an effort to lock in higher yields as they
became available. Second, we kept the portfolio’s duration longer than that of the benchmark since we believed the Federal Reserve was nearing the end of its tightening cycle.

Third, we maintained the fund’s exposure to below investment-grade bonds close to our permitted maximum of 5%. Lower-rated bond spreads remain tight, however, and we are currently unable to find many new investments offering enough yield to compensate for the level of risk. In some cases, we have traded out of lower-rated sectors into others, reflecting our views on relative valuations. That said, we are maintaining some positions in these securities, particularly in areas where we like the fundamentals and have been able to benefit from the incremental yield.

Finally, within the investment-grade sector, we increased exposure to prerefunded bonds, which were appealing because they were issued during the heavy refunding years from 2002 through 2005. These bonds will mature for the most part
within the next five years, and many investors have avoided them to date, enhancing their appeal. Our outlook for the intermediate sector of the municipal bond market is generally favorable due to the flatness of the yield curve—a situation where there is not
that much difference between the yields of bonds with shorter and longer maturities.

Tax-Free Income FundIn an environment of generally low returns from bonds, your fund exceeded its Lipper peer group over the past six months and year. The Advisor Class, which carries higher fees, matched the peer group during the six-month period and
surpassed it for the year. Fund performance was helped by the portfolio’s structure: our overweight in long-term bonds; our emphasis on preserving yield where we can; a few key investment decisions; and our generally low expenses. While
short-term rates for cash and intermediate bonds marched steadily higher over the pastsix months, long-term rates ended the period basically unchanged. This point-to-point comparison masks a period of rising rates in the March-through-June time frame and a rally over the past two months.

During the past two years, we generally maintained a barbell structure with a higher exposure to both long-term bonds and very short maturities, including cash. This strategy proved beneficial as short-term rates rose and long-term bonds performed well, while intermediate-term bonds lagged. We have less conviction about this position today as the Federal Reserve nears the end of its tightening cycle. At some point,
intermediate bonds are likely to do well as the yield curve steepens again, with a greater disparity between short and long yields. Accordingly, we have maintained our long bond exposure and moved some of our cash to intermediate-term
bonds.

Two investment decisions stand out over the past six months. The first was a credit decision to add exposure to Puerto Rico, which went through a period of budget turmoil in the second quarter. Yields for Puerto Rico debt (which is exempt from taxes in every state in the U.S. and generally trades at expensive levels) widened considerably, creating an opportunity to add exposure to this credit at historically good valuations. So far, the trade has paid off as Puerto Rico yields have tightened relative to other credits.The second decision was to significantly increase exposure to non callable debt to improve the portfolio’s ability to respond more positively to falling interest rates. While bonds without call provisions normally trade at lower yields than callable bonds, we saw an opportunity to buynon callable debt at even levels with callable debt when interest rates rose in the second quarter. The non callable bonds performed well as rates fell in July and August.

We also took advantage of an opportunity to add lower-rated debt at reasonable yield levels during the first few months of the period, but we have not done so recently. We continue to believe that credit spreads are very tight, and an inevitable period of weakness will unfold if the economy slows down. We selectively sold some BBB debt that has performed well and seems to have little further upside. At the end of August, taking into account the
addition of BBB rated Puerto Rico debt, our overall credit quality was basically unchanged from six months ago.

Municipal bonds seem poised to deliver better returns over the next year, not necessarily from price appreciation, but from the higher income available, particularly on cash and intermediate bonds. We are somewhat cautious on the outlook for inflation at this late stage of the economic cycle, which may put upward pressure on rates in the short term, but the
longer-term outlook for tax-free bonds appears positive.

Tax-Free High Yield Fund

Fund returns moderately lagged the Lipper average for both the six-month and one-year periods as our somewhat defensive positioning, most notably in airline-backed debt and tobacco-securitization bonds, tempered relative results. Absolute returns, however, compared favorably with higher-quality, tax-exempt alternatives. Valuations in medium- and lower-quality municipals have reached levels not witnessedsince the late 1990s, and we therefore believe our conservative approach, at this point in the credit cycle, is appropriate.

Continuing care retirement community revenue bonds continued to post strong returns in 2006. During the reporting period, the portfolio experienced two advance refundings (Illinois Lutheran Hillside Village, Iowa Ridgecrest Village),
resulting in significant credit upgrades and price performance. In addition, we witnessed further operating improvement in two other facilities (Oklahoma DFA Inverness Village and Alabama, Huntsville Redstone Village). We retained considerable
exposure to this sector and remain upbeat on its prospects moving forward. We reduced exposure to hospital bonds as risk premiums in that sector remain thin.

Industrial development bonds performed well during the period. Bonds backed by Smurfit-Stone Container and Ford Motor Company recovered from difficult operating results in 2005. Nevada Power bonds outperformed as the company continued
to recover from the energy crisis many western states experienced several years ago. Our holdings in American Airlines and Continental Airlines bonds rallied sharply, but our conservative positioning in this sector detracted from relative results. (For a complete list of portfolio holdings and the percentage each represents in the portfolio, see the Financial Statements report for this fund.)

We increased exposure to single-family housing authorities during the period. These highly rated, state-sponsored borrowers often pay considerable yield premiums to compensate holders for the prepayment risk of the underlying mortgage securities. Given an environment of relatively low interest rates and low volatility, combined with tight quality spreads, we believe these bonds remain quite attractive. Our holdings in Virginia Pocahontas Parkway Association bonds also boosted results. We remained cautious on land-secured bonds because of the slowdown in the real estate market.

Looking ahead, we believe that valuations for medium- and lower-quality municipals are expensive compared with historical norms. Generally low interest rates, benign volatility, and a solid economic backdrop have bolstered the demand
for incremental yield and risk taking in credit markets. This environment has driven risk premiums to historical lows in municipals. Therefore, we remain cautious and defensively postured. Over the long term, however, we believe medium- and
lower-quality municipals offer taxable investors great potential to enhance returns and lessen volatility. We will continue to rely on our disciplined, research-intensive process to uncover opportunities within our segment of the municipal market.

OUTLOOK

Following two years of Federal Reserve interest rate increases, the economy seems to be transitioning from a period of rapid growth to a period of below-trend growth, which we believe will continue well into 2007. The slowdown in the
housing market, which is largely attributable to rising mortgage rates, is beginning to have an impact on employment in housing-related industries. At the same time, reduced refinancing activity and slower home equity growth, coupled with higher
interest and energy costs, are dampening consumer spending. Cost and price pressures continue to mount, however, which could drive yields higher and prompt the central bank to raise the fed funds rate a few more times. At present, Fed officials seem
prepared to keep short-term rates steady as long as they believe the economy is slowing sufficiently to ease inflation pressures over time.

Municipal bonds have outperformed their taxable counterparts on an absolute basis over the past few years, reaching valuations one might consider rich. However, municipal bonds could be in a long-term trend of improving valuations,
which in a broader historical context may still appear attractive. Thus, municipals could continue to be an appealing alternative for investors in higher tax brackets, as their after-tax yields are likely to be higher than those of comparable
taxable securities.

We thank you for your continued support.

PROSPECTUS UPDATE

The following supplement updates the prospectus for the T. Rowe Price Tax-Free Income Fund and the T. Rowe Price Tax-Free Income FundAdvisor Class dated July 1, 2006:

On July 19, 2006, the fund’s Board of Trustees authorized the fund to change the current restriction allowing the fund to invest up to 5% of its assets in below investment-grade securities to a new restriction allowing the fund to invest up to 10% of its total assets in below investment-grade securities. The new policy will be effective November 1, 2006.

Since money market funds are managed to maintain a constant $1.00 share price, there should be little risk of principal loss. However, there is no assurance the fund will avoid principal losses if fund holdings default or are
downgraded or if interest rates rise sharply in an unusually short period. In addition, the fund’s yield will vary; it is not fixed for a specific period like the yield on a bank certificate of deposit.An investment in
the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other government agency. Although a money market fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in it.

Bonds are subject to interest rate risk (the decline in bond prices that usually accompanies a rise in interest rates) and credit risk (the chance that any fund holding could have its credit rating downgraded or that a bond issuer will
default by failing to make timely payments of interest or principal), potentially reducing the fund’s income level and share price. High-yield bonds could have greater price declines than funds that invest primarily in high-quality bonds.
Municipalities issuing high-yield bonds are not as strong financially as those with higher credit ratings, so the bonds are usually considered speculative investments.

GLOSSARY

Average maturity:For a bond fund, the average of the stated maturity dates of the portfolio’s securities. In general, the longer the average maturity, the greater the fund’s sensitivity to
interest rate changes, which means greater price fluctuation. A shorter average maturity usually means a less sensitive and, consequently, less volatile portfolio.

Basis points:One hundred basis points equal one percentage point.

Duration:A measure of a bond fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. For example, a fund with a duration of six years would fall about 6% in price in response to a one-percentage-point rise in
interest rates, and vice versa.

Fed funds target rate:An overnight lending rate set by the Federal Reserve and used by banks to meet reserve requirements. Banks also use the fed funds rate as a benchmark for their prime lending
rates.

Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index:An unmanaged index that includes investment-grade, tax-exempt, and fixed-rate bonds with maturities greater than two years selected from issues larger than $75
million.

Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Index:An unmanaged index made up of the Lehman Brothers Government/Corporate Bond Index, Mortgage-Backed Securities Index, and Asset-Backed Securities Index, including
securities of investment-grade quality or better, with at least one year to maturity, and an outstanding par value of at least $250 million.

Lipper averages:The averages of available mutual fund performance returns for specified time periods in defined categories as tracked by Lipper Inc.

Yield curve:A graphic depiction of the relationship among the yields for similar bonds with different maturities. A yield curve is positive when short-term yields are lower than long-term yields and negative
when short-term yields are higher than long-term yields.

|FUNDEXPENSEEXAMPLE
|------------------

As a mutual fund shareholder, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, such as redemption fees or sales loads, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, and other fund
expenses. The following example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment
of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the most recent six-month period and held for the entire period.

Actual ExpensesThe first line of the following table (“Actual”) provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with your account balance, to estimate the expenses
that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid
During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Please note that a fund may have two share classes: The original share class (“investor class”) charges no distribution and service (12b-1) fee. Advisor Class shares are offered only through unaffiliated brokers and other
financial intermediaries and charge a 0.25% 12b-1 fee. Each share class is presented separately in the table.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison PurposesThe information on the second line of the table (“Hypothetical”) is based on hypothetical account values and expenses derived from the fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed 5% per year rate of return before
expenses (not the fund’s actual return). You may compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund with other funds by contrasting this 5% hypothetical example and the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the
other funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.

Note:T. Rowe Price charges an annual
small-account maintenance fee of $10, generally for accounts with less than $2,000 ($500 for UGMA/UTMA). The fee is waived for any investor whose T. Rowe Price mutual fund accounts total $25,000 or more, accounts employing automatic
investing, and IRAs and other retirement plan accounts that utilize a prototype plan sponsored by T. Rowe Price (although a separate custodial or administrative fee may apply to such accounts). This fee is not included in the accompanying table. If
you are subject to the fee, keep it in mind when you are estimating the ongoing expenses of investing in the fund and when comparing the expenses of this fund with other funds.

You should also be aware that the expenses shown in the table highlight only your ongoing costs and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as redemption fees or sales loads. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in
comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. To the extent a fund charges transaction costs, however, the total cost of owning that fund is higher.

|NOTES TOFINANCIALSTATEMENTS
|---------------------------

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

T. Rowe Price Tax-Free Income Fund, Inc. (the fund), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act) as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The fund seeks to provide a high level of income exempt from federal income taxes by investing primarily in long-term investment-grade municipal securities. The fund has two classes of shares: the Tax-Free Income Fund original share class, referred to in this report as the Investor Class, offered since October 26, 1976, and Tax-Free Income FundAdvisor Class (Advisor Class), offered since September 30, 2002. Advisor Class shares are sold only through unaffiliated brokers and other unaffiliated financial intermediaries that are compensated by the class for distribution, shareholder servicing, and/or certain administrative services under a Board-approved Rule 12b-1 plan. Each class has exclusive voting rights on matters related solely to that class, separate voting rights on matters that relate to both classes, and, in all other respects, the same rights and obligations as the other class.

The accompanying financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require the use of estimates made by fund management. Fund management believes that
estimates and security valuations are appropriate; however, actual results may differ from those estimates, and the security valuations reflected in the financial statements may differ from the value the fund ultimately realizes upon sale of the
securities.

ValuationThe fund values its investments and computes its net asset value per share at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4 p.m. ET, each day that the NYSE is open for business. Debt securities are generally traded in the over-the-counter market. Securities are valued at prices furnished by dealers who make markets in such securities or by an independent pricing service, which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, and type, as well as prices quoted by dealers who make markets in such securities.

Equity securities listed or regularly traded on a securities exchange or in the over-the-counter (OTC) market are valued at the last quoted sale price or, for certain markets, the offical closing price at the time the valuations are made, except for OTC Bulletin Board securities, which are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices. A security that is listed or traded on more than one exchange is valued at the quotation on the exchange determined to be the primary market for such security. Listed securities not traded on a particular day are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices for domestic securities and the last quoted sale price for international securities.

Financial futures contracts are valued at closing settlement prices. Swap agreements are valued at prices furnished by dealers who make markets in such securities.

Other investments, including restricted securities, and those for which the above valuation procedures are inappropriate or are deemed not to reflect fair value are stated at fair value as determined in good faith by the T. Rowe Price Valuation Committee, established by the fund’s Board of Directors.

Class AccountingThe Advisor Class pays distribution, shareholder servicing, and/or certain administrative expenses in the form of Rule 12b-1 fees, in an amount not exceeding 0.25% of the classs average
daily net assets. Shareholder servicing, prospectus, and shareholder report expenses incurred by each class are charged directly to the class to which they relate. Expenses common to both classes and investment income are allocated to the classes
based upon the relative daily net assets of each classs settled shares; realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated based upon the relative daily net assets of each classs outstanding shares.

CreditsThe fund earns credits on temporarily uninvested cash balances at the custodian that reduce the funds custody charges. Custody expense in the accompanying financial statements is presented before
reduction for credits, which are reflected as expenses paid indirectly.

Investment Transactions, Investment Income, and DistributionsIncome and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Premiums and discounts on debt securities are amortized for financial reporting purposes. Dividend income and capital gain distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses are reported on the identified cost basis. Payments (“variation margin”) made or received to settle the daily fluctuations in the value of futures contracts are recorded as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. Unsettled variation margin on futures contracts is reflected as other assets or liabilities, and unrealized gains and losses on futures contracts are reflected as the change in net unrealized gain or loss in the accompanying financial statements. Net periodic receipts or payments required by swaps are accrued daily and recorded as realized gain or loss in the accompanying financial statements. Fluctuations in the fair value of swaps are reflected in change in net unrealized gain or loss and are reclassified to realized gain or loss upon termination prior to maturity. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions are declared by each class on a daily basis and paid monthly. Capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid by the fund, typically on an annual basis.

NOTE 2 - INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

Consistent with its investment objective, the fund engages in the following practices to manage exposure to certain risks or to enhance performance. The investment objective, policies, program, and risk factors of the fund are described
more fully in the funds prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.

Futures ContractsDuring the six months ended August 31, 2006, the fund was a party to futures contracts, which provide
for the future sale by one party and purchase by another of a specified amount of a specific financial instrument at an agreed upon price, date, time, and place. Risks arise from possible illiquidity of the futures market and from movements in
security values and/or interest rates.

SwapsDuring the six months ended August 31, 2006, the fund was a party to interest rate swaps under which it is obligated to exchange cash flows based on the difference between specified interest rates applied to a notional principal amount for a specified period of time. Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their agreements and from movements in interest rates.

OtherPurchases and sales of portfolio securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $343,093,000 and $247,629,000, respectively, for the six months ended August 31, 2006.

NOTE 3 - FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

No provision for federal income taxes is required since the fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and distribute to shareholders all of its income and gains. Federal income tax regulations differ from generally accepted accounting principles; therefore, distributions determined in accordance with tax regulations may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Financial reporting records are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character. Financial records are not adjusted for temporary differences. The amount and character of tax-basis distributions and composition of net assets are finalized at fiscal year-end; accordingly, tax-basis balances have not been determined as of August 31, 2006.

At August 31, 2006, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $1,685,150,000. Net unrealized gain aggregated $108,998,000 at period-end, of which $111,452,000 related to appreciated investments and
$2,454,000 related to depreciated investments.

NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The fund is managed by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (the manager or Price Associates), a wholly owned subsidiary of T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. The investment management agreement between the fund and the manager provides for an annual investment management fee, which is computed daily and paid monthly. The fee consists of an individual fund fee, equal to 0.15% of the fund’s average daily net assets, and a group fee. The group fee rate is calculated based on the combined net assets of certain mutual funds sponsored by Price Associates (the group) applied to a graduated fee schedule, with rates ranging from 0.48% for the first $1 billion of assets to 0.29% for assets in excess of $160 billion. The fund’s group fee is determined by applying the group fee rate to the fund’s average daily net assets. At August 31, 2006, the effective annual group fee rate was 0.31%.

In addition, the fund has entered into service agreements with Price Associates and a wholly owned subsidiary of Price Associates (collectively, Price). Price Associates computes the daily share prices and provides certain other
administrative services to the fund. T. Rowe Price Services, Inc., provides shareholder and administrative services in its capacity as the funds transfer and dividend disbursing agent. For the six months ended August 31, 2006, expenses
incurred pursuant to these service agreements were $57,000 for Price Associates and $222,000 for T. Rowe Price Services. The total amount payable at period-end pursuant to these service agreements is reflected as Due to Affiliates in the
accompanying financial statements.

|APPROVAL OFINVESTMENTMANAGEMENTAGREEMENT
|----------------------------------------

On March 8, 2006, the funds Board of Directors unanimously approved the investment advisory contract (Contract) between the fund and its investment manager, T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (Manager). The Board considered a variety
of factors in connection with its review of the Contract, also taking into account information provided by the Manager during the course of the year, as discussed below:

Services Provided by the ManagerThe Board considered the nature, quality, and extent of the services provided to the fund by the Manager. These services included, but were not limited to, management of the funds portfolio and a variety of activities related to
portfolio management. The Board also reviewed the background and experience of the Managers senior management team and investment personnel involved in the management of the fund. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature,
quality, and extent of the services provided by the Manager.

Investment Performance of the FundThe Board reviewed the funds average annual total return over the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods as well as the funds year-by-year returns and compared these returns with previously agreed upon comparable performance
measures and market data, including those supplied by Lipper and Morningstar, which are independent providers of mutual fund data. On the basis of this evaluation and the Boards ongoing review of investment results, the Board concluded that
the funds performance was satisfactory.

Costs, Benefits, Profits, and Economies of ScaleThe Board reviewed detailed information regarding the revenues received by the Manager under the Contract and other benefits that the Manager (and its affiliates) may have realized from its relationship with the fund, including research
received under soft dollar agreements. The Board noted that the use of soft dollars as a means of paying for third-party, non-broker research had been eliminated. The Board also received information on the estimated costs incurred and
profits realized by the Manager and its affiliates from advising T. Rowe Price mutual funds, as well as estimates of the gross profits realized from managing the fund in particular. The Board concluded that the Managers profits were reasonable
in light of the services provided to the fund. The Board also considered whether the fund or other funds benefit under the fee levels set forth in the Contract from any economies of scale realized by the Manager. Under the Contract, the fund pays a
fee to the Manager composed of two componentsa group fee rate based on the aggregate assets of certain T. Rowe Price mutual funds (including the fund) that declines at certain asset levels and an individual fund fee rate that is assessed on
the assets of the fund. The Board concluded that the advisory fee structure for the fund continued to provide for a reasonable sharing of benefits from economies of scale with the funds investors.

FeesThe Board reviewed the fund’s management fee rate, operating expenses, and total expense ratio (for the Investor Class and the Advisor Class) and compared them with fees and expenses of other comparable funds based on information and data supplied by Lipper. The information provided to the Board indicated that the fund’s management fee rate was at or above the median for certain groups of comparable funds but below the median for other groups of comparable funds. The information also indicated that the fund’s expense ratio (for both classes) was generally at or below the median for comparable funds. The Board also reviewed the fee schedules for comparable privately managed accounts of the Manager and its affiliates. Management informed the Board that the Manager’s responsibilities for privately managed accounts are more limited than its responsibilities for the fund and other T. Rowe Price mutual funds that it or its affiliates advise. On the basis of the information provided, the Board concluded that the fees paid by the fund under the Contract were reasonable.

Approval of the ContractAs noted, the Board approved the continuation of the Contract. No single factor was considered in isolation or to be determinative to the decision. Rather, the Board concluded, in light of a weighting and balancing of all factors
considered, that it was in the best interests of the fund to approve the continuation of the Contract, including the fees to be charged for services thereunder.
